| Abstract: | Nanotechnology is one of the key technologies of our future and is considered as a driving force for science and economy. Mediating a comprehensive understanding of nanotechnology is a main interest of the nanoTruck. This activity shows, that economy and employment in Germany can be increased by the technological productivity of nanotechnology. It aims at disseminating the benefits of nanotechnology and thus providing highly skilled new recruits. It is vital to communicate the opportunities and potentials of nanotechnology to the public, to research centres, to schools and in further education to make a new technology successful. The initiative ?nanoTruck: a journey to the nanocosmos – a world of minute proportions”? of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) contributes significantly to that aim. |
